The first "guide hook" of what may be popularly called the germ "zoo" has just been Issued by the British Medical research council.

The Ttri(ish collection Is housed nt the Lister Institute, and fresh additions of new "strains" and "forms" are constantly being added. The catalogue gives the name of each germ, the name of Its donor, and the year of the gift.
